Hello! Just a note to say that you can find the blog now at EllieAshe.com. It’s all the same book chat but hosted at a real website, like a grownup. Come over and check out the new digs and say hello!
When you share the news about the Miranda Vaughn Mysteries box set release, you can get a FREE download of One Red Cent, a Miranda Vaughn summer mystery novella.
Sarah Girard has a reputation to protect—the paralegal has never failed to serve a subpoena, no matter how reluctant the witness. But this guy she’s tracking down is more slippery than usual, and should he escape, an innocent man could go to jail for arson.
To catch the sneaky chef, Sarah is going to have to do the unthinkable—team up with tall, smug, and all-too-handsome investigator Burton Worthington.
This fun short story is usually only available in the Killer Beach Reads anthology. Details on this limited-time giveaway are here: One Red Cent giveaway!
To tempt you, here’s Chapter One.
Chapter One
“Have you been here before, Sarah?” Christian asked, leaning across the table toward me, his artfully mussed hair highlighted by the sparkling hand-blown glass lights hanging above our table.
I shook my head and didn’t bother to answer. The restaurant was packed with the Friday night crowd and the conversations bounced off the brick walls and the concrete floor. It was so loud, I could barely hear my date across the tiny table.
This wasn’t a huge loss, because he wasn’t much of a conversationalist. He was pretty to look at, and probably handy to have around if you needed to move furniture, but I didn’t expect Christian Morris to keep me interested through dessert. I’d turned him down, gently, when he’d asked me out last month at the gym. But he’d bounced back from that with a shrug. Since then, he’d made it a mission to chat me up whenever he saw me. It was sort of sweet, but he just wasn’t my type.
“I’ve been doing the Paleo diet,” Christian said.
Oh, crap. I didn’t want to talk about that. I didn’t really want to talk at all.

Hello and happy spring, readers! The sun is shining (here on the west coast) and the weather is warmer and it’s a great time to get outside. That doesn’t mean you have to abandon your bookish ways.

2017 is off to a fun start! I’m happy to announce that A Good Kind of Trouble is now out in audiobook. I was so lucky to get to work with the lovely Denice Stradling, who really brought my characters to life. You’re going to love her narration of Ben and Lindsey’s adventures!
To celebrate, I’m giving away a copy of A Good Kind of Trouble, along with a Kindle Fire because you’ll need something on which to listen to your new audiobook. You can sign up for the giveaway HERE. I’ll also pick three people to get Trouble in audiobook.
